Billionaire Gautam Adani's Mumbai Airport Raises $750 Million From Apollo-Led Investors
Mumbai International Airport—controlled by billionaire Gautam Adani—raised $750 million financing from a group of investors led by New York-based Apollo Global Management.
The four-year unsecured notes will be used to pay off existing debt, with the option to raise an additional $250 million to support Mumbai International Airport's expansion plans, Apollo said in a statement released on Monday.
'This financing provides us with greater operational flexibility and positions us to further enhance the airport experience for millions of travelers,' Arun Bansal, CEO of Adani Airport Holdings, the parent company of Mumbai International Airport, said in the statement.
Mumbai International Airport—which operates the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, India's second-largest gateway—plans to invest 100 billion rupees ($1.1 billion) over the next five years to expand and modernize its infrastructure. Once completed, the airport can handle 229 million passengers a year, more than four times the 54.8 million passengers it served last year.
Earlier this month, Adani Airport Holdings, raised $750 million in financing from international banks including Barclays, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Standard Chartered. Of that amount, $400 million will go toward paying off Adani Airport Holdings' debts, while the rest will be used to upgrade and expand the capacity of its six airports across India.
With an estimated net worth of $64.5 billion based on Forbes' real-time data, Adani is the second-wealthiest person in India. He is the chairman of the Ahmedabad-based Adani Group, which has interests in airports, ports power, energy, edible oils, cement and real estate, among others.

Shares steady, dollar firms on US tariff letters; oil dips
By Rocky Swift TOKYO (Reuters) - Stock markets in Asia took in stride the latest twist in U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff roll-out on Tuesday, as the dollar held onto gains and oil retreated. Shares on Wall Street fell after Trump sent letters to 14 countries, including Japan and South Korea, unveiling sharply higher tariffs on imports into the United States, while also postponing their implementation to August 1. Japan's Nikkei stock gauge opened lower but then turned positive after Trump described that deadline as "firm, but not 100% firm" and said tariffs may be adjusted for some countries. The Aussie dollar rose ahead of a Reserve Bank of Australia decision later in the day. Market reaction to the tariff announcements was muted on memories of Trump's rapid walk back of his "Liberation Day" duties initially set out on April 2, said Tapas Strickland, head of market economics at National Australia Bank. "There's going to be a lot of volatility as the headlines start to emerge, as more of these letters come out, and as the negotiations really come to the fore ahead of that August 1 deadline," Strickland said on an NAB podcast. In April, Trump capped all of the so-called reciprocal tariffs with trading partners at 10% until July 9 to allow for negotiations. Only two agreements, with Britain and Vietnam, have been reached. In June, Washington and Beijing agreed on a framework covering tariff rates, restoring a fragile truce in their trade war. Tariffs on Japan and South Korea are now due to go up to 25% on August 1. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba called the hike deeply regrettable and said his nation would continue negotiations with the U.S. The European Union will not be receiving a letter setting out higher tariffs, EU sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. The EU still aims to reach a trade deal by Wednesday after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Trump had a "good exchange," a commission spokesperson said. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.2% in early trade. Japan's Nikkei stock index rose 0.4% while South Korea's KOSPI jumped 1.5%. The dollar rose 0.2% to 146.36 yen, touching a two-week high. The euro was flat at $1.1741. The Aussie advanced 0.4% to $0.6516 before a meeting by the central bank where policymakers are widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut. U.S. crude dipped 0.5% to $67.59 a barrel after surging nearly 2% on Monday. Spot gold edged 0.2% lower. In early trade, pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were down 0.1%, German DAX futures were down 0.1% at 24,133, and FTSE futures slid 0.3%.
